The Red Hen in DC for Italian food. I had to wait a month for the reservation! Worth it

This Italian market in DC was a discovery. The best variety of vermouths, gins, bitters, and mid- and high-range European wines 😍

I come back to this album so much (Muse - Absolution), and it's channeling the shock, anger, and sadness I feel and the edge I need into a coherent wavelength right now

Someone dropped flowers in front of my door? Thanks!

I’m a regular at Astoria now (recognized by the waiters)! 🥹 If you’re ever in DC, it’s my favorite, \textit{the best}, spot

Korean-American Thanksgiving for 30+ years. Thanks to all my relatives who said I look old now ☹️…😭 Hope everyone enjoyed an especially good food day whether celebrating T’day or not. Best wishes, ✌️

Two #glycotime papers out in the last two weeks at Nat Chem Bio -- a selective hybrid N-glycan probe and optogenetic control of OGT. These came in before I joined the journal, so reading them now. Hopefully they are useful tools! www.nature.com/articles/s41... and www.nature.com/articles/s41...
